Ron Wyden close to deal on 'fast-track' trade legislation

[cascadiance]

15. The state Democratic Party of Oregon specifically told him NOT to do this back in 2013!

Check the language of this state platform resolution passed back then!

...
NOW, THEREFORE, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF OREGON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Our Senators should insist that the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership be made public and subject to full discussion and modification by the Senate before this treaty is voted on by Congress.

Section 2. Our Senators should oppose reinstatement or exercise of Fast Track Authority by the president that circumvents the ability of the Senate to carefully consider the TPP and any future free trade agreements.

Section 3. Our Senators should oppose any international trade agreement that would undermine American manufacturing by encouraging production to move to low-wage countries with weak labor and environmental standards.
...

Wyden should know that Democrats here who are being asked to reelect him in 2016 OPPOSE this POS. What he should be doing is challenging the president and saying that he can't get reelected if he's being asked to go against his party's interests to pass something that Obama is also working against his party's interests for unexplained reasons.
